We've spotted an interesting trend of late involving Apple's popular iPad tablet. It seems that as the tablet technology becomes more and more commonplace, it's quickly finding its way into the hands of the littlest technophiles around, the generation that will grow up in a world where that technology is the norm.

These videos of small children playing with tablets are certainly amusing -- and popular -- but they also act as a kind of commentary about the direction our lives are headed.

Earlier this month, a clip of a little girl trying to use a magazine like an iPad took off, drawing over 2 million views.

Last week, this video of a boy enjoying Angry Birds for the first time became a viral hit.

You may also remember this clip from last March of a baby rocking the iPad.
